Breaking Atoms è l'album d'esordio del gruppo hip hop statunitense/canadese Main Source, pubblicato il 23 luglio del 1991. L'album è commercializzato da Wild Pitch ed EMI. In Canada la distribuzione è partecipata dalla label Attic. Alle produzioni collabora anche Pete Rock. Registrato durante l'età dell'oro dell'hip hop, Breaking Atoms si distingue stilisticamente per le sue incorporazioni di campionamenti soul e jazz.[1]

La canzone Live at the Barbeque ha il merito di "lanciare" sia Nas[1][2][3] sia Akinyele,[1] entrambi al debutto in un album in studio. Successivamente, Nas campiona la sua parte per The Genesis, la canzone d'introduzione per il suo album d'esordio Illmatic (1994).

Breaking Atoms è riconosciuto come uno degli album più importanti nella storia dell'hip hop e nel 1997 con la chiusura della Wild Pitch Records, il prodotto dei Main Source andò fuori stampa. È stato ristampato dall'aprile 2008 sotto la Fontana Distribution. Nel 1998, la rivista The Source lo inserisce nella sua lista dei 100 migliori album hip hop.[4]La canzone "Live at the Barbeque" appare nella radio "The Classics" condotta da dj Premier nel videogioco del 2008 Grand Theft Auto IV.

Produzione e ricezione

Breaking Atoms è stato prodotto usando il campionatore E-mu SP-1200.[1] Dopo la sua uscita, il disco ha ricevuto critiche molto positive da parte degli addetti ai lavori: RapReviews lo paragona a Illmatic di Nas e ai primi tre album degli A Tribe Called Quest.[5] Huey, per Allmusic, assegna all'album il punteggio massimo di cinque stelle su cinque, evidenziando lo stile e il merito di Large Professor nella produzione[1] e scrivendo: «le tracce su Breaking Atoms sono infuse di una lucente strumentazione, scratching creativo, bridge interessanti e testi esperti che si combinano per renderlo un album memorabile, che sicuramente vivrà negli annali delle produzioni influenti dell'hip hop.»[1]

Negli anni successivi, l'album è inserito in diverse liste dei migliori 100 album hip hop, tra cui quella di About.com[6] e quella di The Source.[4]
